The innovative water purification for car wash
The product
The AEROS technology is a europewide renowned system employed for permanent production of dissolved air in waste water.
The AEROS uses an innovative and unique way in producing micro bubbles in the water and effectively saturating the water with air.
High quality and long lasting materials insure a reliable use with low maintenance needs. Due to a modular built up a multiple use is possible. The AEROS can be used as a stand alone version to eliminate bad odours in wash points as well as a main module in big DAF plants (dissolved air flotation).
Developing the AEROS it was our intent to insure an ecological and economical way of use. For example, when using the AEROS in wash points up to 100. 000 car washes per year the energy need is as low as 900 up to 1.100 Watt.
Subassemblies of AEROS
The procedure
The waste water first flows to the first sludge trap where the most bigger size mud is sedimented.
Then the water flows further to the second sludge trap (if needed), where more smaller sized mud is seperated by sedimentation.
After this the water comes to the recycling tank where an under water pump brings the water to the clear water tank. From here the water for the washing process is pumped to the wash portal by a pressure pump.
The AEROS system takes also water out of the clear water tank and saturates this water with air.
Then this saturated water is brought to the recycling tank by a certain jet system in a special way that guarantees long lasting bubbles. Due to the depressuration while taking the water to the tank, tiny microbubbles with a diameter of 30 to 60 µm develop.
All small pieces of mud or other substances in the water adhere to the micro bubbles and float up to the surface where a bubble carpet developes.
In the bottom section of the recycling tank develops a clear water zone from which the water for the washing process is pumped to the upper take off tank. This bubble carpet flows over the recycling tank into the drain canalisation when additional water is brought to the system. Thus the tiny particels like mud or oil are effectively brought out of the system.
Other applications
Due to the modular construction a big variety of applications is possible. Very often the system is used in wash points where all advantages of the AEROS system can unfold effectively as reducing bacteria, eliminating bad odours, floating out the tiny substances.
Further more the AEROS system can be used as a main module for a big “DAF” (dissolved air flotation).
In this case two kinds of constructions can occur:
- Using the main stream process the whole amount of waste water is pumped across the AEROS system. Using this process chemical flocculant can be added to crack off emulsions.
- Using the bypass process the AEROS system is just used to produce the micro bubbles. Hereby a defined part of the water with the produced micro bubbles is mixed with the main stream.
The AEROS has a capacity from 3 m³/h to 40 m³/h. To germinate the recyclingwater it can also be combined with the UV-Cleaner. Please ask our experts.
